Doug Snyder        Melanie Snyder

I am a human services professional with 20 years experience, including customer service, mental health/mental retardation (MH/MR) management, and pastoral care. I grew up in the Lehigh Valley, within the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky.  I have been a licensed pastor in the Wesleyan Church, and a licensed and commissioned pastor in the United Methodist Church.  I am ordained through Harvester's Christian Fellowship, a parachurch organization in Crossville, TN.  I chose Harvester's because of my passion for working across and beyond denominational lines. Before beginning my professional career as pastor in 2002, I spent ten years in the business world.  I was a coordinator of an empowerment program for mentally challenged adults, a legal assistant for an attorney at a pharmaceutical company, and a business coordinator in the print mail sector of Fidelity Investments.  I have also been a chaplain at a retirement center and a hospital. Our dream is to offer a place with various entertainment venues, help people on their spiritual journey, and assist those who have been hurt in some way by the Church. I have spent the last 15 years as an early child education professional.  I have a passion to help women and children, and to communicate God's love in a variety of creative ways I graduated from Morehead State University and Asbury Theological Seminary.  I am a member of American Association of Christian Counselors, a Stephen Minister, and involved in the Celebrate Recovery program.
